" The press is a function of our free institutions. If they are wrong in their attitude, try to make them see the true light, but under no circumstances attack them. Political parties are essential to our republic, our nation, and we must not attack them. What we’re doing is to show by our actions what we think our Party is destined to do: Provide basic laws for a more abundant life and the happiness and security of our people. "
